Good to see a generous software guru that is willing to share insights about the Starlink revolution. Still waiting for delivery of my residential Starlink setup ordered just yesterday, but I am stoked at the thought of witnessing internet connection speed boosts of the sort I only dreamed about in the past. I'm tagging along for the ride, sir, with an eye on the sky for high altitude UFOs haha.
Steady as she goes, Cap'n.

Thanks for your kind words, @Mad Pup. Sorry I did not respond more quickly, but I just stumbled across your post on my profile. I didn't even know that was possible.
As for tagging along for the ride... hang on to your hat! It could be interesting.
Seriously, though... I had a lot of issues with Starlink for the first several months after I got my equipment. Nothing with registration or access to my account. I've never had a problem there. For me it was inconsistent connectivity and download speeds that just made me furious. These days, there are sometimes slowdowns, especially during prime time (evenings local time), but that's because everybody is binge-streaming their favorite TV series on Netflix, Prime Video, or AppleTV. Sometimes I get slowdowns during the daytime, too, though. I notice those even more because I work from home in the CyberSecurity business and am constantly transferring large files while checking email during a Zoom meeting... LOL.
Starlink is definitely better here in New Mexico than my old WISP.
At the end of this month, we are moving to western Tennessee and Starlink is officially not available there. I've got an open ticket with support -- for several days now -- asking if I can take my equipment with me, switch to Roam and still get service there. The only other option appears to be Starlink Business at $2,500 for equipment and $500/month for service... I've already exhausted all the other possibilities in this new, very rural location.
Anyway, thanks again for the props. Let me know if I can ever be of assistance.
